Kristen Smith, LICSW

Psychotherapist
MA
Hello, and welcome. I'm Kristen Smith, LICSW, and I believe that reaching out for support is one of the most courageous steps you can take. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in a variety of settings, including hospitals, community mental health, crisis intervention, outpatient therapy, and telehealth. These experiences have allowed me to support individuals facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges while tailoring treatment to each person's unique needs and goals. My priority is building a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel accepted, empowered, and supported throughout your journey. Healing isn't about being perfect—it's about making meaningful progress, one step at a time. I would be honored to be part of that journey with you.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
